[Verse 1]

House in shambles, waiting for a sign

Took everything that once was mine

Belongings, memories, souvenirs

Sharing truths of deepest fears

If I wait too long for the green light

My bones too weak to put up the fight

[Pre-Chorus]

Did I come here to pick locks?

Chain myself to your castles door

Watch the spinning of clocks

Crashing down like waves on the shore

The sand might be falling quick

[Chorus]

Living on a broken wing

Moving for emerald rings

How do my limbs always proceed?

Controlled by invisible strings

Shackled to a rusted swing

Racing at fallen trees at my strongest speed

I could disarm landmines and disasters

If I weren’t bound to a puppetmaster

[Verse 2]

I’m a bird in a cage

A never ending treadmill

Put me on a lustrous stage

I’ll do it all at my own will

I could spin, sing, dance

If you gave me the chance

[Pre-Chorus]

Did I come here to pick locks?

Chain myself to your castles door

Watch the spinning of clocks

Crashing down like waves on the shore

The sand might be falling quick

[Chorus]

Living on a broken wing

Moving for emerald rings

How do my limbs always proceed?

Controlled by invisible strings

Shackled to a rusted swing

Racing at fallen trees at my strongest speed

I could disarm landmines and disasters

If I weren’t bound to a puppetmaster

[Bridge]

Just know, I’m aware of it

The willingness to care

For you, I would never quit

Breathing smoke in the baneful air

It’s a dumpster fire

A total loss of sanity

But if I stay on the wire

It’ll all be inanity

[Chorus]

Living on a broken wing

Moving for emerald rings

How do my limbs always proceed?

Controlled by invisible strings

Shackled to a rusted swing

Racing at fallen trees at my strongest speed

I could disarm landmines and disasters

If I weren’t bound to a puppetmaster
